The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Macrophage defense mechanisms against intracellular bacteria (2015, background): “During this process, the maturing phagosome acquires and loses molecules functioning at but also characterizing individual maturation stages and diversion routes (7).”
Neutrophils, from marrow to microbes. (2010, background): “Activation of neutrophil respiratory burst and mechanisms of microbial killing have been reviewed recently (El-Benna et al., 2009; Robinson, 2008, 2009; Holland, 2010; Nauseef, 2007; Flannagan et al., 2009).”
Macrophage Cytokines: Involvement in Immunity and Infectious Diseases (2014, background): “Both intracellular and extracellular parasites have evolved mechanisms to not only avoid or survive the immune response, but also to use it for their own benefit (93, 94).”
Chronic Inflammation and Cytokines in the Tumor Microenvironment (2014, background): “ROS and RNS have a potent antimicrobial role in phagocytic cells and also act as a second messenger in signaling transduction [109, 110].”
